¡Hola Jessica! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. We're so glad you're here with another vacation planning question.
I'm thrilled that you will be staying at
Disney's Pop Century Resort during your next visit. The recent room refurbishments look great; the carpet has been replaced with new flooring, and beds have been upgraded to queen-size. Get ready for a totally radical stay!
I recently had the opportunity to tour the resorts situated along the
Disney Skyliner, and I was very impressed by the newest addition to the
Walt Disney World Transportation System. It was both fun and convenient to travel by gondola and enjoy a bird's eye view of the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Jessica, the operating hours of the Disney Skyliner vary to reflect theme park hours, but rest assured you will be able to board before park opening and return home well after the theme parks cease operations. Currently, on a day when
Disney's Hollywood Studios opens at 8:00 and
EPCOT opens at 9:00, the gondolas begin running at 7:30 AM. They generally operate at least one hour after park closing. Check at your resort upon arrival for updated hours on your travel dates. You will also find the hours posted on a sign outside of the Disney Skyliner station.
I hope that helps as you finalize your itinerary. When you're making a gondola transfer at
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, be sure to make a quick stop at the Joffrey's Coffee & Tea Co. kiosk for the Toffee Flight Latte. It's a delicious in-flight beverage!
Lastly, I noticed that you'll be visiting us from Mexico - ¡qué padre! If you have any local friends or family members who would benefit from vacation planning advice in Spanish, send them over to see us at the
Disney Parks Moms Panel en Español. We're always happy to help.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Betsy
